letter from Lingg and Ensci, two Of the
condemned Anarchists:
Cook COUNTY JAIL, Sept. u.
FRIENDS AND CoNUADEs-1'hc cS'
crtions by our friends aud comrades In
general. and especially by the Defense
Association. TO appeal our case TO the
United States Supreme Court. makes II
imperative that I should explicitly de.
clare II my positive desire 10 abandon
all efforts to secure justice from the au.
thoritics.
Friends and Comrades: am dis
g,isted with the thought that should
consider the working people 80 utterly
stupid that II would require new af.
firmation b, the United States supreme
Court the model representative Of cap
italist he~cing and law tyranny In
order 10 open the eyes Of the American
people rs to the kind of justice dis.
pcnssi by judicial bandits. Should any
one harbor the notion that I expect the
American people TO bc Thoroughly
aroused on the dny fixed for my judicial
murder. let him remove the Illusion at
once.
"On the other hand. l wish 10 combat
the mistaken suppcsi,ion that prevails
In certain badly Informed circles that 1t
is the duty Of our Chicago comrades tn
plan our release by force. This concep-
ton is erroneous for the reason that to
lie successful 1t would ncccssitaie n gen.
crai uprising. but this Is n matter that
can never bc made 10 order; con-
sequently II would Ike unjust TO charge
our comrades with inactivity or cow

made at the present moment. Will hurry
on the collapse Of the capitalis,ic order
Of society much more quickly than in
case the Supreme Court of the United
States were TO jngGlc with II for years.
Simplctons or mischievous individuals
are likely to interpret my desire to dis
countenance continuation OF the
judicial farce as an indirect acknowl-
edgemcnt Of guilt and my losing faith
in nil hope.
"Comrades--I am not desirous Of adj
vising YOU what should be YOUR course
OF action in the days OF lcgnlized brutal

word to YOU aud organized labor. BE

principles of the Democracy are

Those of the Republican party are
wrong, unjust, disho7 est and chang

better man than Repub lican, ought
the Democratic party to control and
